Abstract

In accordance with the present invention, the foregoing objectives are realized by providing a connector assembly comprising an outer connector for engaging the outer conductor of the cable, an inner connector having a threaded portion adapted to fit into the hollow inner conductor in threaded engagement with the interior surface of the inner conductor, the threads comprising a plurality of interleaved concentric threads, and a dielectric spacer between the inner and outer connectors. In a preferred embodiment, the multiple interleaved threads are self-tapping threads so that the inner connector can be simply threaded into the hollow inner conductor without any advance tapping of the inner conductor.
